In this type of flaker, ice is made in the usual way but at the
top of the evaporator there is a brass bearing retainer. This
bearing retainer is shaped with a tapered base facing the
auger that slopes upward to the ice discharge spout. The
tapered base has two slopes with a point in between, so two
streams of ice are formed as ice is forced against it.
As ice is made it is pushed up the evaporator by the auger. At
the top of the auger the ice is compressed against the
tapered base of the bearing retainer. This squeezes much of
the water out of the ice and forces the compressed ice into
the ice discharge spout.
